❌

Curbing shadow AI is a manual, disruptive, and delayed forensics process (if done at all).

❌

Employees are frustrated by archaic IT policies that block AI altogether. They find workarounds, leaving your data at risk.

❌

Spreadsheets are used to track compliance scope, access reviews, SSO enrollment, and more.

❌

AI policies are difficult to build up and maintain at pace that keeps up with AI, if they're even drafted at all. Third-party vendor risk assessments are conducted infrequently with stale vendor data.

❌

Employees grant privileged access to AI tools and agents without any oversight.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Nudge Security's AI security governance solution

How can I see integrations with AI tools?

Nudge Security discovers and inventories the SaaS-to-AI integrations over MCP, API, webhooks, and other app marketplace connectors that share potentially sensitive enterprise SaaS data with third-party AI tools and agents. Additionally, you can use our growing list of connected apps to gain deeper visibility, including API integrations with AI apps. This gives you comprehensive visibility into where AI tools have been granted access to other systems, by whom, and what level of access was granted.

Why is Nudge Security the best solution for AI security?

Nudge Security, the ideal AI security solution because it can not only discover AI applications but also uncover where AI is embedded and integrated across the entire SaaS ecosystem. As the AI landscape continues to evolve and SaaS providers add AI-enabled capabilities, the line between what constitutes an “AI tool” vs. a “SaaS tool” will continue to dissolve.

This approach ensures you maintain visibility even as the AI landscape evolves.

Can Nudge Security help with AI risk assessments?

Yes. Nudge Security provides a vendor security profile for every AI app discovered (as well as every other SaaS app) which includes: Security program details, data training policy summaries, breach history, data locality, compliance attestations, and supply chain mapping.
